I would think that covert action attempted against a certifiable man-child with nukes would justifiably be classified and against the law to reveal. It will be interesting to see if the government goes after this confidential source with the same venom they have for whistleblowers who revealed domestic spying. Might give some insight into who the government sees as a greater threat–NK or its own citizens.

A computer virus hoax is a message warning the recipients of a non-existent computer virus threat. The message is usually a chain e-mail that tells the recipients to forward it to everyone they know. Most hoaxes are sensational in nature and easily identified by the fact that they indicate that the virus will do nearly impossible things, like blow up the recipient's computer and set it on fire, or less sensationally, delete everything on the user's computer. They often include fake announcement...

Indeed, I rather thought that whatever technology North Korea might be using would be too primitive to be infected by a typical virus. Kind of like all those US missile silos that are still running off 8-inch floppies.

(Isn’t it still just a little bit dubious that North Korea has a functional nuclear program at all?)
